Passed Core Spring Certification with 86%

1. Read through the Reference Document - making note mainly of the concepts and when and when not to use specific technologies - especially the "note" sections on the reference document
2. Read the spring in action 2.5
3. Took few beta tests on the Java black belt site - now blackbeltfactory - http://www.blackbeltfactory.com/ui/# - this was very useful to learn the concepts

Hope this helps.. and Good Luck to all those who are getting ready for this exam.

what i am not sure is about the flagged questions on the exam. I had exactly 7 flagged questions and my score would have been 43 - Does any one out there know if the flagged questions are marked or not..
I suspect those were not marked hence lost exactly the 7 marks.. as far as i know some of those 7 should be right.
